Who Do You Think You Are?

Julie Slanker

Seriously.

Who said you could be so grand?

Who said you could tackle such a big problem? Who told you this was your problem to solve? Who gave you the super-human ability to create a thing that no one has successfully crated before?

Who do you think you are?

Somebody already tried to do what you are trying to do.

And she failed.

Somebody gave it their fullest and best effort. And was just as intelligent and well-trained as you.

And she failed.

Everyone you know says you would be stupid to try.

Because they think you will fail.

What makes you different from everybody else? What makes you so smart? What makes you think you can take on such a big and important thing?

 

Who do you think you are?

Seriously.

What do you see that no one else can yet see? What experience - what lifetime lived - do you bring? What mad mix of Genius is only yours to claim? What pulls your passion? What ignites your ire? What challenges your values? What motivates your movement?

What sparks like lightening in your imagination?

What calls your commitment to the future you are creating?

What cutting words do you have for the critics that nip at your feet?

What reminders do you call to mind when you hear again the same old things that everyone says?

What do you do to stun those who would silence you?

What stamina and strength do you demonstrate?

What fight do you fight when they come to knock you off your feet?

 

Whose voice do you hear when you think maybe you should not?

Is it theirs?

Is it yours?

What do you tell them?

What do you tell yourself about who you think you are?

Seriously.

What do you roar back at that little voice who would convince you to shut it all down?

About your Genius. About your will. About what makes you uniquely you and capable of tackling this momentous thing.

Because you can.

Because you will.

Because there is no other way.
